Three fourths of Estonians ready to work outside Tallinn - survey
BC, Tallinn, 07.07.2016.Print version
Slightly more than 75 percent of Estonians are ready to work outside the capital Tallinn provided they find a job with an equal position and pay, it appears from a survey taken by the recruitment services company CV Keskus, cites LETA/BNS.
"The claim that international experience shows that an institution will lose more than 90% of staff because of relocation as the majority are not prepared to move to a smaller town or into a rural area for work might not hold true in Estonia," marketing manager at CV Keskus Henry Auvaart said.
According to Auvaart, going to work "in the countryside" is not a problem for 75% of the people if they find an equal job there or the employer makes the organization of work more flexible. "The executors of the state reform thus should consider how much freedom they are prepared to grant to state employees – would working from home be acceptable?" he observed.
